Interactive Temperature Game
I played the Interactive Temperature Game. The purpose of the game was to match the temperatures of certain icons to their actual temperature. I was given the choice of playing the game using the Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin temperature scales. On the Fahrenheit scale, water at sea level freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The Fahrenheit scale is mainly used in the United States. On the Celsius scale, water at sea level freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius. The Celsius scale is used by most other countries to report temperature. On the Kelvin scale, water freezes at 273.15 Kelvin and boils at 373.15 Kelvin. The Kelvin scale is the international standard for scientific measurement of temperature and is used mainly by scientists. When we measure temperature, we are measuring how fast the molecules or atoms, in a substance, are moving.
